What other choices did Caroline have? Frederick would probably think that she was messing around and she couldn't call her father or Levi either! If she did, then wouldn't her entire family find out about it?

By that time, she would be subjected to her family's rules! Her parents were not as open-minded as her Aunt Clements. There was a rule in her household stating that she wasn't allowed to go to entertainment places alone. Besides that, she even needed to inform her parents before going to her friend's party!

If her family discovered that she had come here alone and was almost caught up in an incident, the punishment for her actions would have been inevitable! Caroline bit her lips in horror at the memory of her brother who was whipped until his skin was torn.

Caroline wasn't twenty-five yet! In her family, she was not even of age to freely roam in and out of a place like the nightclub!

He withdrew his hand and pivoted his body to the opposite side.

The next second, Caroline immediately rushed in front of him. She cupped his hands and begged him with a pleading look, "Um... Could you send me home?" "Haha, what?"

Amused by her words, Nicholas chuckled as he asked, "Young lady, how old are you? Are you still a child?"

What on earth was going on inside that brain of hers? Earlier, Caroline was desperately searching for her brother, and now she was begging a stranger to send her home?
